A 10 years old Nokia. It has bluetooth (when i'm driving), fits in all pockets I wear, battery doesn't down to 0% after 2 days, and it makes calls. That's all I need from a cell phone. The next one, probably an other "dumbphone".
Doro 5030. It can do texts and make calls but that's about it and it's ALL I ever want from a mobile phone. Plus it cost me £30 new so if it gets lost/destroyed/stolen it's no biggy
Still using my Samsung Galaxy S4. Only thing, the battery life doesn't seem to be as good as before. The new ones are WAY,WAY too expensive for me. I'm a cheapskate.
Yes, seriously. I live where mobile service is 'iffy' a lot of the time, and I can usually get a signal with mine when the fancy new phones won't work.

I had the same problem with my S4, a full battery would not last all day some days. I bought a new battery (see link below) and now I go to bed with 50% battery left most days.

I used to use an HTC One M8 running Windows Phone, which I really liked:
But app compatibility, mostly for work, made me switch to Android, so now I have a Galaxy S7. It's a fine phone, and has a better camera and a few other nice features, but I think it's kind of bland looking compared to the HTC phone.

Since my department has to be on call 24/6, we got our office to pay for our phones since about 5 years ago. We all started with Blackberries but we are allow to change to whatever we like every year. I got the LG G3 about 3 years ago, and even though I have seen many other good phones in that time, I have not felt the need to upgrade yet.
Maybe next year I'll either get the LG G6 (or 7?), but most likely I'll consider the Google Pixel phone.
Maybe.
I find large screen phones very useful for my work. I can VPN in to a server and restart any service while shopping for groceries.

AT&T Nokia Lumia 1020 Windows Phone. Had it for about 3.5 years, no issues, unlike every android phone/tablet we had here up to that time. I'm sure android phones are better now. Never reset.
Unfortunately, more and more daily online functions require an iPhone or android phone and don't have anything for a windows phone. Tried getting one of those fitness trackers, but none work with windows phones, my iPad, certainly not a pc. JUST iPhones and android phones. That kind of issue keeps popping up. Even AT&T's own Family Map doesn't work on it now, our carrier!
Blows my mind that new smart phones are $500-700...or more. Get an older one and it's just that much sooner that it won't be supported. I heard somewhere that the next iPhones might run up to $1200. WTF?
I just recently upgraded from my Samsung Galaxy S4. The battery was just not lasting me through the day. I had it for almost 4 years. Very happy with it. Upgraded last Sunday to the Google Pixel 32GB. My kids don't think it's cool, it's not an iPhone or Samsung. I wanted to try someting different, why not go with Google ? So far so good. Basically I use my phone for texting and going on Twitter. So even the S4 was waaay more phone than i needed.
My LG4 recently crapped out, so I got a Google Pixel. So far, I'm pretty happy with it. Fortunately, the guy at Verizon was able to resurrect the LG4 long enough to get the files copied, etc. ... but the power system on it was definitely hosed.
Had an LG G3 since it came out. Just died and got an LG Stylo 3+. Thought about the G6 but not a fan of the new tall and skinny aspect ratio. That this was a hair under half the price didn't hurt either.
Suicide is man's way of telling god "You can't fire me, I quit!"
Love it and don't even use it to half it's potential.
Chicks think I am a cool old fart for having one...and strangely get the urge to take naughty selfies of themselves with it.
Am keeping it.

After quite a few years with the Droid Razr smart phone it was getting long in the tooth and the battery was total crap to stay charged for more than 8-12 hours...
Upgraded last year with the Samsung Galaxy S7 (the one that doesn't explode)...WOW! The iPhone had to actually catch up to this phone, to which they did...and then the S8 came out....all out war!

None. Never had one, never will. If I am not home, I do not care if you want to contact me.
